The Tichborne Curse.

The punishment Which Followed the
Discontinuanee Of the Dole to the poor.
1t seems that in the time of Henry ii q
Sir Roger Tichborne married an helress
named Mabel de Lymerstone. she PROV
ed to be a Lady Bountiful, always soh-
citing her knight to give to the poor:
These entreaties he constantly refused
until, when she became bedridden, ne
tauntingly offered her for the poor ss
much ground as she could crawl around
She actually succeeded in covering NJ
teen acres-hence the name OF the neld:
Before Lady Mabel died she desired
that the rental of the fifteen acres DC
given annually to the poor every Lacy
Day, March 20, in toe shape of small
loaves She said:
IF any Tichborne deprives the poor
of this dole the family shall be punished
by the fulfillment of my curse. May TIC
house than fall, the name change ana
misfortune come. The fulillment shall
be foreshawowed by generation OF
seven sons and then one OF seven daugh-
ters'
Toward the end of the last century the
baronet of that day was petitioncd by the
neighboring gentry to stop the dole as
bad precedent lie complied,
In 1902 this same taronet, the father OF
seven sons, pulled down the mansion,
which he said was inconvenient and de-
cayed. The towers was so solid that gun
powder had to be be used TO make 1t fall.
lie was succeeded by son who had
seven daughters The title next success
lively passed to his two brothers. The last
of these-father of the downed Sir Roger
and of Sir Alfred, sire of the present bar
onet-did change the family name by
making it the double one of Doughty
Tichborne, for which the royal license
was obtained.
Then came the misfortune--the mystic
rious death of Sir Roger, the almost ruin
Gus lawsuit, the birth of the present bar
onet after his fathers death and the hu-
initiation of the boy grandmother, Lady
TichborEe stooping to fraud and perjury
In supporting the Orion claimant.
Curiously enough this dole proved
turning point in convicting the claimant.
He swore that IT was distributed in silver,
whereas the jurors decided if he had
been the heir he must have known that
it was in loaves. The dole has, however,
been resumed, substituting sacks OF flour
for baked bread--Neao York Herald.

ANNAPOLIS MD, TUESDAY EVENING AUGUST 80, 1887
senator Fair,s Rescue from shark.

1t happened upon my last visit to the
81, witch Islands. / am very expert
swimmer, and nothing pleases me better
than to plunge into the salt water. The
temperature of the island is delightful,
and could not resist the temptation TO
take swim.
After / had been in the water for half
an hour l pushed out over and beyond
one of the reefs which surround the
islands. All at once realized that some
thing was going ON on the shore. There
was quite a number of natives there, and
they appeared to be greatly excited. Sud
denly two native girls swan out behind
me with long knives between their teeth.
l looked behind, and to my horror saw q
shark making for me with terrific speed.
An instant later the girls had dived. and
the shark had nearly stopped. The water
around him was red with blood. The
girls came TO the surface again, and again
they dived and plunged their long knives
into the monster. At last he lay still on
top of the watsr, quite dead. The natives
dragged him ashore and found that he
was one of the largest of his species.
But for the wonderful bravery of these
girls / should not be here tonight to tell
you this story.-San Francisco Call.

Rules for Mothers and Babes.

Dr. Fiske-Bryson Is the pioneer in a
movement to teach the mothers n few sam
itary rules which will, in her opinion, ma
terially lessen the death rate. Her idea is
that some of the intelligent, philanthropic
women Of this city who have the leisure
should volunteer their services and devote
little time each week to the instruction
of tenement house women in the proper
way to battle, clothe and feed their chill
dren. The doctor says that the few les
sons which she has been able to give these
women i'll the course of her practice have
been very beneficial during the present
heated term. The doctor proposes to have
printed on the cards for distribution in
the tenement houses the following list of
s'Don'ts:n
Don't give the baby meat, beer, whisky, cab
bage or berries.
Don't put heavy winter fannels on the baby In
July and August.
Don't bathe the baby once in a while: battle it
twice day during July and August. at 10 O'Clock
In the morning and at O'Clock in the afternoon.
Don't feed the baby whenever it frcts or cries.
Feed it at regular times during the day, and then
its maps will be longer.
Don't let the baby sleep with other children.
In q conversation with a reporter this
morning, the doctor said: ''More than
1900 infants perish every year in New
York city between the middle Of juno and
the middle of September from summer
diarrhoa The prevalence of the disease
is in direct proportion to the height Of the
temperature. Overcrowdcd and anti
hygienic surrounding predispose to it,
Among the children Of tenement house
districts and in asylums it prevails ex-
tensively. The greatest mortality occurs
during hot, still, sultry days. Gases from
cesspools, malarial influences, vegetable
and animal decomposition are powerful
pre1lisposing causes. The death rate Of
New York children from this disease is
twice that of any other city in the world.
The improper feeding and management of
infancy in the densely packed tenement
house districts has more to do with the
prevalence of cholera infantum than high
temperature, overcrowding or poverty
itself. Ignorance is at the bottom of it.
and the main cause of disease and death
among infants.
1.-THE impurities which abound in the
air through the action of atmospheric
heat are very numerous. They arc both
gaseous and solid. A theory deserving
consideration is that certain gaseous i'm
purities found in the air form purgative
combinations Particles Of solid impure
ties are literally the 'motes in the sum
beam which are visible when viewing it
in a darkened room. They consist
largely Of organic matter, often carried q
long distance BY prevailing winds. The
hazy appearance of the atmosphere rest
ing over New York city when viewed at
distance on a sultFy, quiet summer day is
largely due to solid impurities. New

Eject Of stnno FRIGHT.

A singular instance of the effect Of
stage fright is furnished in the case Of a
young girl from Indiana studying music
in Chicago. When the time came for her
to take part in competitive performance
she was so overcome with nervousness
that she could not speak, and she was no
sooner removed to her home than hemor-
rhage from the nose and ears began. A
blood vessel had burst during the mental
strain Stage fright is something which
the oldest as well as the best orators never
overcome. John b. Cough felt it to the
last, and at times felt it severely. But
what is stage fright? No one who has
ever felt it can explain it TO his own salts
faction. In most cases it is not fright Mt
all; there is not the slightest sense of fear.
1t is the result of some magnetic or other
influence which goes out from a crowd to
an MISUNDERSTANDING Times.

MARRYING EOR MONEY.
why it is that Many Women Wed Not for
Love but Lucre.


For these who like to read of love an
marriage, this from the London Saturday
RecieD, may prove interesting:
This is the pivot on which their whole
lives as young ladies 'out" must revolve.
Marry they must and as well as possible,
for not marry means an uncomfortable old
age. AS daughters of rich parents they
have been accustomed to every luxury,
including large households, plenty of
horses and carriages, accompanied by
every form of amusement that money
can purchase. If they fail in their OBJ
ject of marrying, when In due course of
time their parents die, they are Jeff with
but very moderate incomes, without a
single habit of thrift, and with most ex.
travagsnt taste. They get embittered
and soured when they find that many Of
their so called friends, who were ready
to be on most excellent terms with them
while they could enjoy the hospitality
extended to them at the open house Of
their parents, now treat them with con
siderable less cordially; for the friend.

mere Is also anolHcf ~ Ong. reason
why girls are anxious to marry-namely,
the desire to have an establishment OF
their own and to be free from the res.
traint of their homes, more especially in
cases where there is not much love lost
between mother and daughters. All
these things combine to impress on young
ladies in society that the one aim and
object Ct their lives is to make a good
marriage, and the lesson that any senti.
timental ideas about affection and heart
must be banished is thoroughly incuIated
into their mines. Anything in the shape
of poverty must be avoided like plague:

Last evening the Portland Division Sons
of Temperance celebrated their tortieth an
niversary at their hall on Exchange street.
There was large number Of the members
present and the occasion was made a most
enjoyable one. After routine business and
initiation, addresses we're made by John
Thorndike, the only surviving charter MEM
Der present, General G. M. Atwood Of Bos-
ton, who was grand conductor at the instr
tuition of the division. and large number of
members from Rechab Division of Cumber-
land Mills.
Letters were read from several absent
members, also one from Elijah Hassach Of
Boston. A history Of the early days of the
Division from j. J. w. Reeves was read.
The exercises of the evening were inter-
spersed with singing, and after the addresses
all adjourned to the supper room where a
bountiful collation. was served by the ladies.

Lord Byron.

Mr. John L. Stoddard's lecture on the po-
ct Byron last evening was one Of, If not the
most delightful of the many admirable lee
lures he has ever given here. Possibly this
opinion is affected somewhat by the writer's
interest in this poet,but If SO it seemed to be
shared pretty generally by the rest of the
sudence that filed City Hail. Mr.. Stoddard
was singularly happy in his treatment OF
Byron and in the selections from his writ
ings. His recitation of Waterloo brought
forth the heartiest applause. The only I'M
favorable criticism to be made Of the scene
representing the ball room on the eve of the
great battle is that it belonged to these later
times rather than to the first part Of the CEN
fury. The views were all highly attractive.
Throughout the lecture, we might almost
call it the eulogy of Byron, the lecturer was
thoroughly just, criticising the poets de-
fects sharply, while pointing out with living
touch the merits of one of the most brilliant
genuises the world has known.
